The US Military Academy at West Point is being sued for its race-based admissions policies by the same group that won a landmark case against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Supreme Court over affirmative action earlier this year, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

    I hate to break it to you, but experiencing less privilege because people want to make the sample better match the population is not “racism”, any more than correcting typos or poorly constructed sentences is “censorship”.

      I think there are better ways to achieve that than letting all of the horses finish the race and then reordering them based on color. It’s using a sledge hammer to do the job of a scalpel and it is racist to both those who it aims to benefit and those who “experience less privilege”. Change needs to happen before that, at the community level, which I am not against the government funding.
